Definitions
- the present invention relates to a seamless cover panel for airbags having an improved breaking feature and to a method of manufacturing the same panel.
- the surface material which covers the instrument panel is pre-cut on the concealed side in the factory, using the most various techniques, such as trimming, cutting, laser cutting.
- the so created groove promotes the panel breaking during the explosion of the airbag in compliance with the maximum timeframes required by the safety standards for every type of motor vehicle.
- US6328367 shows a cover panel according to the preamble of claim 1 having a flap covering an opening for passage of an air bag when the air bag is triggered.
- the flap is also covered by the foil and is marked by a weakening and/or perforation along its edge.
- the interior covering part On its side facing a vehicle occupant compartment, the interior covering part is provided with a laminated-on decorative layer which is slotted on the side situated opposite a hypothetical folding axis as well as in areas on both adjoining upright sides of the flap.
- the slotted areas of the decorative layer are covered by a fitted-on strip.
- a cover panel for vehicle airbags which, according to claim 1, comprises a rigid structure with at least one openable door for releasing said airbag in case of a vehicle crash, said rigid structure being covered by an elastic covering material, characterized in that said elastic covering material comprises, wherein said elastic covering material comprises, in a part concealed from sight when the cover panel is fitted aboard the vehicle, at least one stress raiser tear or cutting concerning the whole thickness of the elastic covering material, the cutting or tear having a direction intersecting a hinge line of said openable door about which the door rotates when the airbag opens, and wherein the concealed part of the elastic covering material is a folding of the covering material about the rigid structure.
- a rigid or semi-rigid ornament may be provided on the elastic covering material at the upper part of the panel, applied so that at least one edge thereof substantially follows said direction intersecting the hinge line.
- a method of manufacturing a seamless cover panel for vehicle airbags having an improved breaking feature is also an object of the present invention; said panel comprising a rigid structure comprising at least one openable door for releasing an airbag and an elastic covering material which covers said rigid structure; the method comprising an operation of cutting a stress raiser tear on a part of the elastic covering material concealed from sight when said panel is installed aboard a vehicle, said cutting operation being carried out either before or during or after the application of the elastic covering material to the rigid structure, the tear having such a direction that, if continued, regardless of the laying plane, it intersects a hinge line of said openable door, and wherein said concealed part of the elastic covering material is obtained by folding the covering material about an edge of the rigid structure.
- the soft, elastic covering material coated on the rigid covering will be called “leather” here, also comprising in such a definition those artificial materials having structural features similar to natural leather, as well as fabrics.
- a preferred embodiment of a panel 3 of a vehicle door 1 is shown according to the present invention; in particular, here it is a door of an automobile containing one or more curtain airbags 2 within its thickness, to shield from crashes laterally caused to the vehicle, e.g. in the direction of arrow U.
- the cover panel 3 of vehicle door 1 comprises a rigid support structure 4.
- Motor vehicles which include lateral airbags generally arrange them in the zone under the window glass 5 of the vehicle door 1.
- the covering of vehicle door 1 comprises a door 6 in the upper part of panel 3, adjacent with the window, which may be opened upon the bursting of the airbag and under the pressure generated by the same.
- Said movable door 6 is adapted to be opened by rotating about an opening or hinge line which is substantially parallel to the surface of the window glass, in order to allow the airbag 2 to be released from its housing and to inflate upwards to protect the passenger's trunk side and head.
- a hinge line is advantageously made by weakening the cover panel in such a zone or by reducing the thickness with respect to the adjacent zones of the panel 3 or by means of a similar technique.
- the leather 8 Since the leather 8 is applied on the rigid structure 4 and turned about the end borders thereof on the side in contact with the window glass 5 of the vehicle, before or during or after the application of the leather 8 to the structure 4, one or more cuts are made in the leather 8 passing close to the edge of the leather itself, which is turned about the rigid support structure 4 and which is concealed from sight when the panel is fitted aboard the vehicle.
- the cut 10 passing through the whole thickness of the leather 8, which is the beginning of a real tear, is made so that the tear, which extends under the expansion action of the airbag, if continued, regardless of the laying plane, intersects or tends to intersect the hinge line 7 of the movable door 6.
- the beginning of the tear 10 thus made in the leather 8 remains concealed from sight because it is only made over a predetermined length lower than the length of the rim 9 ( Fig. 2 ) which is made by turning the leather 8 about the rigid support structure 4 of the leather itself. Said stress raiser cut or tear 10 is placed along a direction which is substantially transversal to the opening or hinge line of door 6.
- An advantageous variant may include the application of a rigid or semi-rigid ornament (not shown) on the leather 8, at the upper part 11 of panel 3, e.g. a plate or strip bearing the manufacturer's name or the name of the vehicle model.
- Said rigid or semi-rigid ornament is applied so that at least one edge thereof substantially follows the direction which is substantially transversal to the opening or hinge line 7 of door 6, said direction being defined by the stress raiser cut or tear 10 provided in the rim 9 of the leather 8.
- the edge of said rigid or semi-rigid ornament substantially is on the same laying plane as said cut 10. Therefore, opening the openable door is even more facilitated.
- the cuts or tears 10 in the rim 9 of the leather 8 are substantially parallel to the tear or breaking lines of the panel, transversal to the hinge line 7.
- a weakening of the cover panel is provided at said transversal tear or breaking lines of the panel, e.g. by reducing the thickness with respect to the adjacent zones, by means of milling or by means of other suitable techniques, for example.
- Fig. 4 shows the final opening position of the openable door once it has been rotated in the direction of arrow A and has released the airbag, thus revealing the tear 12 which was produced in the leather by continuing the beginning of tear 10.
